Dr. Randolph Moore’s Buford, GA dental patients now have a minimally invasive gum recession treatment alternative with The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™. Also known as Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™, this new procedure enables dentists to treat receding gums without the painful cutting or suturing of traditional gum grafting surgery.

Unlike traditional surgery, where doctors must cut a portion of gum tissue from the palate and suture it to the receding areas, The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™ uses specially designed tools to make a tiny pinhole and guide loose gum tissue over the receding areas. Since Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ is a minimally invasive procedure, patients experience little to no swelling, bleeding, or pain. By using The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™, Dr. Moore can also treat multiple teeth in a single visit, because each tooth only takes minutes to complete.

A number of factors can contribute to gum recession, including overly vigorous brushing, gum disease, and aging. Besides increased sensitivity, receding gums can also be unsightly and the additional exposure often significantly changes the look of a person’s smile. The resulting “gummy” smile causes many people to feel self-conscious about their appearance. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™ was conceived and patented by Los Angeles dentist Dr. John Chao and any doctor who wishes to offer this procedure must undergo training with him. Dr. Moore is among a select group of dental professionals in the country who have completed this training and are currently certified to offer The Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™.
